#TIPTUESDAY ✦ The 90-Second Pause That Changes Cravings

🔥

If cravings feel like they come out of nowhere, here’s the part most advice skips.

➡️The problem: Most women assume a craving means “I want this food.”

But when a craving hits, it’s usually because something just triggered it, like an emotion, a thought, or a time-of-day pattern, not because your body suddenly needs that food.

💥For a lot of women, that trigger is simply: “It’s that time of day (or evening).”

➡️The tip: Before deciding anything, give yourself 90 seconds. ⏱️

Not to resist or talk yourself out of it. Just to notice.

Ask yourself:

✅️What just happened?

✅️What am I feeling right now?

✅️Is this familiar for this time of day?

That short pause builds awareness. And awareness, NOT WILLPOWER, is what creates choice.

➡️Why this works: When you stop treating cravings like emergencies and start seeing them as information, they lose a lot of their power. You do NOT have to win the moment. You just have to SEE it.
